Chapter 35 Making Money

The needle and thread baskets quickly attracted customers. When asked about the price, Chen Afu quoted a hundred and fifty cents and refused to lower it. It wasn't that she was trying to jack up the price, but she was worried that if the baskets sold out too quickly, they wouldn't have time to wait for the person they were waiting for.

Despite the hefty price, a young lady, accompanied by several maids, bought two, and a housewife bought one.

The needle and thread packages were not put out for sale yet because the people who showed up earlier didn't seem to be potential customers who could afford to pay ten taels of silver for them.

Half an hour later, the woman, who had bought one of the needle and thread baskets, returned. She angrily asked Chen Afu why her prices were higher than what's offered at the entrance of Lingyin Temple.
